  1. I AM SOOOO Scared!!!

    Justanotherday replied to myoahall's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished Biology a week ago. Reading through a chapter for the first time was often like reading a foreign language. So reading it through 2-3 times helped me a lot. It was necessary for me...

  2. Military spouse...so many questions

    Justanotherday replied to micheleruth87's topic in General Students

    You will have to check with your school, but at mine, nursing students can take the CNA exam after their first semester of nursing school. Many people work as CNA's before becoming a

  3. Chem and Micro

    Justanotherday replied to tmarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I might add one of those science classes to your summer schedule before I would take 3 at once, can you do that? I also second Saysfaa's

  4. Wanting my bsn really bad.. but may not be possible

    Justanotherday replied to Mada87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, you may want to retake a class to get a better grade to raise your GPA. At my school, they only count nursing prereq's into your GPA. Do you know if your school does

  5. A FUMING MAD VENT!

    Justanotherday replied to naenae1979's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would sign myself up for an Algebra class or two while you are waiting to get in. Or buy a book and teach yourself, then retake that test. A good company to try if you want to self teach is...

  6. Need Advice...schedule conflict!

    Justanotherday replied to alyssa*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our Red Cross charges about $900, plus there are some other fees. My college charges double that, but all your extra fees are

  7. Am I Too Old for Nursing School , I am 26 years old and tired

    Justanotherday replied to Divalish918's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whew, that is a lot of money! I am going to a community college that is thousands of dollars cheaper...is that a possibility for you? Do you qualify for any financial aid? Just imagine, once you...

  8. Need Advice...schedule conflict!

    Justanotherday replied to alyssa*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could also look into your nearest Red Cross chapter and see if they offer a course near you. The one closest to me offers a 6 week class and is cheaper than my local community college. Also....I...

  9. Any other pre-nursing students over 45?

    Justanotherday replied to aliveword's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I here ya, Anne36! I have done babysitting for neighbors to bring in extra money and I also make $55/week donating plasma. Every little bit helps! My last daycare job ended this past fall when the...

  10. Any other pre-nursing students over 45?

    Justanotherday replied to aliveword's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My husband and I are in our early 40's and have almost no retirement and a large mortgage. I have been a housewife for 20 years, raising and homeschooling our boys. I started working 15-20 hours a...

  11. Microbiology grade came in..

    Justanotherday replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know it is common at my school for students to retake classes in the summer when they offer accelerated classes (some are 5 weeks, some are 8 weeks) . They usually do well because the material is...

  12. Navy nurse? Yay/nay?

    Justanotherday replied to Donnuh's topic in Government, Military

    My son is in the Navy, so I am very "pro Navy"!!! I applaud anyone's decision to join the military. I have been very inspired by biographies written by wartime nurses. Sorry, I don't have any...

  13. Work Related Experience?

    Justanotherday replied to Nguyenchester's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could also look into being trained as a CNA through the Red Cross. The chapter closest to me charges almost half of what my community college charges. And they offer a 6 week class, which is...

  14. Frederick Community College?

    Justanotherday replied to jenniepaige's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I definitely appreciate classes in small chunks, too. For me, taking math only once a week is a disadvantage because one week can be a looooong time, and it is easy to forget what we learned in our...

  15. Frederick Community College?

    Justanotherday replied to jenniepaige's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Well, I'm taking EN101 online this summer. Better for me since I have two young children I am home with during the day. I didn't know Dormo had any A & P classes! I would love to have him...

  16. Frederick Community College?

    Justanotherday replied to jenniepaige's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Well, I don't know how far along in your prereqs you are (this is my first semester), but Stacey Drabic is **outstanding** for any math classes you need, and Kathy Brooks is also outstanding if you...

  17. Frederick Community College?

    Justanotherday replied to jenniepaige's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Terpgal- thank you for the post and helpful info! Best of luck to you as you progress through nursing

  18. Frederick Community College?

    Justanotherday replied to jenniepaige's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I am taking my prereqs there, too. I am hoping to apply for their spring 2012 program, which is even harder to get in to, as there are only 30+ slots and the minimum GPA is 3.5+. But the nurses I've...

  19. I want to work in a Doctor's office

    Justanotherday replied to cawin1975's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The "nurses" at our pediatrician's office are medical

  20. Level 1 peer interview

    Justanotherday replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    Congratulations! You won't be on the night shift forever...and you will gain a lot of experience! I hope I will have an ER job

  21. Attrition rate

    Justanotherday replied to flowerchild1965's topic in General Students

    I don't know what the drop-out rate is at my school, but I do know that close to 100% of the students who do make it through pass the

  22. Summer 2010 Schedule?

    Justanotherday replied to Tara:)'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Registration opened for summer and fall classes online at my school at midnight April 19th, and I was on there at 12:01 a.m. to sign up! Feels good to have an official schedule. This summer: English...

  23. Time of the month in light colored scrubs

    Justanotherday replied to jkmk's topic in General Students

    I use a diva cup, and have had the same one for 10 years. I do wear a lightdays pad with it, as it is possible for it to leak on my heaviest day. If I am going somewhere where I could experience an...

  24. Using layoff to my advantage...Nursing School here I come!

    Justanotherday replied to PedsHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a friend who has not even graduated yet and landed a teaching job in Fairfax, VA, she was so excited! She goes to school in Maryland but no districts were hiring so she tried Virginia. OP,...

  25. farrmer's wife w/kids......and NO help!

    Justanotherday replied to naenae1979's topic in General Students

    If your husband is not available to help get your kids where they need to be, and your schedule won't allow it, I was thinking having a nanny would work better for you, unless you can work out some...
